Always a good time having friends on the Podcast!  My good buddy and guitar ripper, Dayton Swords, stops by the studio to chat about all things music.  We cover topics like genuine relationships in a town like Nashville, opening for acts like Kip Moore and Turnpike Troubadours, being in a rock band, and squeezing his way in to adding "half-ass guitar tech" on his resume while out with The Wild Feathers.  *Recorded Pre-Pandemic*

On this episode it's all about "Music Education".  I asked my good friends, and bandmates in Highway Natives to talk shop about their musical education.  Matt Drummey attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.  While Brandon Moore attended Full Sail University down in FL.  We mostly cut up, but there is some gold nuggets in here for anyone interested in attending school for music.

Julie Welgoss is a Nashville based entrepreneur who owns a Design and Events company.  She also co-hosts her own Podcast titled, "Adultish Advice".  She went to school for music, and interned at a local studio here in town before deciding to start her own company.  Keep up with Julie at @firstofflisten_events and @adultishadvicepodcast.
